Weather

Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a specific place at a specific time. It encompasses various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail), wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and atmospheric pressure. Weather is characterized by short-term changes and can vary significantly from day to day or even hour to hour. It is influenced by factors including geographic location, altitude, and the time of year. Meteorologists study weather patterns to make forecasts that can help people prepare for different weather conditions. Weather is distinct from climate, which refers to long-term average patterns of temperature and precipitation in a particular region over extended periods.
